The Memorabilia of the Detective Case of the Female Doctor Who Traveled Through Time

Chapter 28

The room was not that big, so it was difficult for Gu Ruo not to pay attention to two men squeezed into it at once.

Xiao Wu hadn't seen Du Youning for a long time, so he was naturally happy to see him today, surrounded him and asked him questions, all he said was about the demeanor of the soldiers and the battlefield.Du Youning patiently talked to him, and Xiao Wu listened with great interest.

"Ah Ruo, I happened to meet my cousin when I went out. He said he had something to do with you, so we came here together." Afraid that Gu Ruo would be uncomfortable, Xiao Chengfeng explained to her.

Du Youning raised his head when he heard the words, and said that he just had some trivial matters, let them talk first.

Gu Ruo suddenly remembered the matter of Pingniang's money being robbed. The two in front of her are officials ordered by the court, so they can always seek justice for her.Gu Ruo thought about it, and told about how he bought the yard, how he met Ping Niang, and how Ping Niang was bullied.

Xiao Chengfeng heard that someone was so bold and reckless, and the bully was a weak woman with no strength to restrain her. She was full of youthful vigor, and couldn't help saying angrily: "Ah Ruo means that Ping Niang knew that thief? Da Chu ruled the country by law. I will never condone the arrogance of this kind of thief. A Ruoke knows the name of the thief, if you know, you can tell me, I will have someone fetch him next year, and I will not give him the year, so that he can know , what is Wang Fa!"

Gu Ruo thought for a while and said, "I heard from Pingniang that the man's name is Cui Dengke, and he is a distant relative of Pingniang's husband."

Uh, Xiao Chengfeng was still furious and wanted to arrest someone, but he was a little stunned when he heard this: "You said that person is called Cui Dengke?"

Gu Ruo nodded: "Yes, he lives on the street or somewhere, he seems to be a famous gangster."

"Then there's no need to get him," Xiao Chengfeng said with a wry smile seeing Gu Ruo's puzzled expression, "he's lying in the morgue right now, he's cold."

"What?" Gu Ruo was dumbfounded, and confirmed again, "You said he was dead?"

Xiao Chengfeng sighed, and did not treat Gu Ruo as an outsider, so he immediately told her about the case, and seeing her silence, he said, "Now that Cui Dengke can no longer steal money."

Du Youning's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he suddenly said, "You said that Ping Niang was stolen, and you knew the person who stole his money, but don't pursue it, the things inside are probably not that simple."

Xiao Chengfeng naturally took the words: "Could it be that this Pingniang resented Cui Dengke for stealing her money, and angrily killed him..."

Gu Ruo frowned, and said a little displeased: "Ping Niang didn't pursue it because his mother and child were sick. Ping Niang is weak, if she can really beat Cui Dengke to death, Then he won’t be robbed of money and humiliated.”

Xiao Wu stood quietly and listened, only vaguely aware that someone had died. The adults suspected Ping Niang, so he couldn't help defending Ping Niang: "Aunt Ping is a good person, she won't kill people."

Xiao Chengfeng patted his head, and didn't argue with him. Master Ximen analyzed the characteristics of the murderer, whether he was weak or not strong was one of them.

Gu Ruo knew that it was normal for them to have their doubts about Ping Niang, but in her heart she did not believe that such a weak and kind woman would kill someone.Gu Ruo suddenly regretted talking about Pingniang with Xiao Chengfeng, and Pingniang was involved for no reason.

When several people were thinking about their own affairs, someone knocked on the door: "Is my sister here?"

Xiao Wu suddenly raised his head, with joy on his face, but changed his face when he thought of what the adults said just now, and looked at Gu Ruo as if asking for help: "Mother..."

Gu Ruo naturally recognized that it was Ping Niang's voice, she always believed in the truth that she was not afraid of the shadows slanting when she was standing upright, if Ping Niang didn't make a mistake, why bother herself.The thought flashed by.Gu Ruo calmed down instantly, and opened the door with a smile: "Here!"

Outside the door, Pingniang was holding a food box, covered with a jacket, which can keep warm and prevent snow.She cooked early, thinking that Gu Ruotong Xiaowu was still living in the inn, she felt a little soft-hearted for a while, so she made some dumplings and sent them over.Pingniang didn't open an umbrella, snowflakes fell on her head and body, her body was already weak, and she couldn't stop shaking after walking through this experience.

But Ping Niang didn't realize it at all, she was a little happy seeing Gu Ruo, but for some reason she was a little shy, and said with a smile: "Today's New Year's Eve, I made some dumplings for you, eat them while they are hot..." Ping Niang said, Only then did I see the two men in the room, they were both handsome in appearance and extraordinary in demeanor, they seemed to be sons of rich families.She is not sociable at all, and her bones are very traditional. Although she is a woman, she doesn't want to have any contact with strange men, so she stuffed the food box into Gu Ruo's hand, and wanted to say goodbye, but Gu Ruo held her hand. .

Some things are better said earlier.

"Ping Niang, this is Lord Xiao from Dali Temple. I need your assistance in investigating something." Gu Ruo brought Ping Niang into the house, and tried his best to speak, "You just tell the truth about what you know. will embarrass you."

Ping Niang said that he was an official, so he refused to sit down, and stood there with lowered eyebrows, looking a little nervous.

Xiao Chengfeng looked at the woman in front of him, supposedly in her early thirties, she was a few years younger than his mother, but she looked haggard and sickly, as if she was about to faint at any time.

Thinking that this person is usually not easy, and only suspected that she was related to this case, Xiao Chengfeng naturally would not make things difficult for her, but lowered his voice so as not to scare her: "Does Ping Niang know Cui Dengke?"

Ping Niang clasped her hands and lowered her head, muttering, "I know."

Xiao Chengfeng asked again: "What kind of festival does Pingniang have with him?"

"I'm not familiar with him." Ping Niang raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Ruo, seeing her nodding to her, she simply told about Cui Dengke's robbery in the market.

Xiao Chengfeng immediately asked: "270 taels of silver is not a small number, since Pingniang knew it was him, why didn't she report it to the officials?"

Pingniang sighed and said: "I get along well with his wife Zhen, and when I heard that her mother-in-law and son were sick and had no money to treat her, I also worried for her. I wanted to sell the house to help her, but Before I could send her money, his husband came and snatched it. I think it’s for her anyway, so let’s do it.”

Xiao Chengfeng and Du Youning looked at each other, and the emotions in their eyes were very obvious. If you give money to others for medical treatment, there will be such a stupid and kind person in the world?
As if she knew what they were thinking, Ping Niang wanted to explain, but when her throat felt itchy, Ping Niang began to cover her mouth and cough. The cough was so severe that it was difficult to even breathe.Gu Ruo quickly poured water, and pressed her Tiantu acupoint hard, Pingniang coughed for a long time, and then slowly calmed down.

Feeling the sharp pain in her chest, Ping Niang raised her hand to cover her chest, frowned and said: "I am a body that adults can see, I am afraid that I will not live for a few days. I was born lonely, and finally I have a lovely person." As a companion to my daughter, the result..." Ping Niang choked up a bit, then sighed, "I have nothing to worry about in this world, and the money can't be brought to the soil, so it's better to give it to others. I don't like to do good deeds It’s just that my health is broken, and money is useless to me, so how can I value useless things so much?”

Du Youning clapped his hands and praised: "Ping Niang is kind, but I'm just pardoning Du Mou's words, if you can feel better, you have to make yourself feel better. After all, it's not easy to be happy in life."

"It's not easy to be happy," Ping Niang repeated in a low voice, and smiled sadly, "Yes, it's not easy to be happy."

Seeing her clutching her heart, Gu Ruo secretly thought that it was not good, that Ping Niang might have suffered from angina pectoris, coupled with her emotional discomfort, the prognosis might be bad.Thinking of this, Gu Ruo couldn't bear it, but she pretended to be angry and said, "Ping Niang, did you not take the medicine I gave you on time?"

Ping Niang saw that her eyes were full of concern, and her heart warmed up, but she was a little embarrassed, her eyes dodged a little and she said in a low voice: "I have eaten, but sometimes I forget... sister, don't be angry, I know you are doing it for my own good. I pay attention to taking my medicine on time."

Gu Ruo shook her head in disapproval, Ping Niang was afraid that she would say something else and hastily changed the subject, and said to Gu Ruo, "The dumplings are probably getting cold, you should try it."
